Bonjour tous le monde!
Officially my first blog post.
Past several days of unswerving commitment to write ,this post is created. FINALLY. At first, I thought blogging would be a whiff of fresh air and a piece of cake. How wrong I was ! Days of brainstorming for topics, waking at 3 a.m. with underdeveloped yet overly fanatical characters screaming in excitement inside my head, blogging could happen in a jiffy. But that was not to be. All of those animated ideas and characters got buried deep underneath in a layered fashion, the details trickling away faster, the more I tried to hold on to them. One's mind becomes an old and unused bookshelf then.
To add to the misery, it became excruciatingly difficult to usher in the discipline to write and here we have to mention that infamous rogue popularly called,'writer's block' and a bunch of other things that would leave any amateur, enthusiastic writer fumbling for words and feeling extremely stupid.
More than the whiff of fresh air I was dying to create,those tiny globules of abstraction and ideas; what I need most is that discipline to write and some creative writing exercises. I have a long way to go before I can attempt to thaw that frozen sea inside me as I presently am sulking around as the "still-in the-closet" writer. So, off to starting those writing exercises pretty soon and clearing some cobwebs off my head.
May this simple and unpretentious blog be where I grow, as a writer.
